It was on May 29, 1971 that they were last seen driving to a party at a Union County gravel pit in a 1960 Studebaker Lark.

September 13th of last year was when things picked up for the investigation of the 1971 disappearance of two teens. According to reports, authorities found the car of Jackson and Miller partially submerged upside down in a creek a few miles southwest of Alcester, South Dakota.

Since this discovery being linked to the 1971 disappearance of two teens, two sets of skeletal remains inside the car were sent to Texas for testing. Tuesday had authorities confirming that the remains were Jackson and Miller's. Authorities said that there were no signs of foul play for this discovery on the 1971 disappearance of two teens.

Found on the south side of a bridge spanning 310th Street, about a half-mile south of the gravel pit where both teens were going to party was where the car was discovered.

Over the years, officials have considered other possibilities as to the reason of the 1971 disappearance of two teens.
